I got my bilsteins from http://www.scionpartsusa.com/detail....mance%20shocks
They are reallly cheap there. However i think u have to wait for them. I got mine for 185 shipped to my house for all 4. warning, they are very stiff.

Don't buy them though a dealership those are the TRD cheap one's. Get the real bilstein's the tube's on the shocks are a lot thicker much better shock. I put a set on my 97 it made it a completly different truck, it handled much better.

I put Bilsteins on a 90 4WD Toyota truck and they were a bit stiff but when I put them on my 97 runner I don't think they were stiff at all. Just better handling.

So did I! Those are the regular Heavy Duty Bilsteins (4WD is #2450-BE something) not TRDs, they will firm up the ride. The truck will handle a lot better (less nose dive on braking, less body roll), but you will also feel some bumps more (maybe more than you want to).

i ordered my shocks for my 2wd 4runner from the same cabeperformance.com website. it was 159.00 shipped. the part #s on the shocks are the exact same #'s in the bilstein catalog for the HD.. from what they told me they are out of stock on the 4wd 4runner shocks.
